Although you can no longer check out which photos or posts your friends have liked on Facebook, you can still see their liked Pages. Pages are Facebook accounts set up for celebrities, locations, services, public figures, bands—basically any Facebook page that isn't a typical person's profile. If your friend hasn't locked down their privacy, you can browse their liked Pages to learn about their interests. Here's how to see what your friends like on Facebook using your iPhone, iPad, Android, or computer.

How to See What Someone Liked on Facebook

Go to your friend's Facebook profile and click on the About Info button near the top of the page. Scroll down to Likes and click See All to view your friend's Liked pages.

No, you can't see what posts your friends Like on Facebook. Apart of Liked pages, you can't see liked posts or comments. While you were able to bypass this and search for Likes in the past, Facebook has made it impossible to do so as per their privacy practices.
- You may see "[user] liked" on a post you come across, but there's no way to pinpoint specific or all posts.
- However, you can still browse what pages your friend has Liked on the mobile app or website.
